When my laptop shutsdown - which closes opera, it seems to always delete my browsing history and sign me out of all account such as google and youtube and various other websites. Is there any way in the settings to turn this off as it is really annoying as sometimes my laptop randomly shuts itself down so any help is appreciated in helping to fix this

@wefwefwef99 Since you're on macOS, you might be experiencing this issue (which affects cookies, which can lead to you being logged out).

I don't see that affecting your history, but you can delete your history file too to wipe out all your history so Opera creates a new history file.

If you're using Opera Sync though, try disabling it for a while.

Make sure you always fully exit Opera yourself if you shutdown or restart your computer. I wouldn't rely on the operating system to tell Opera to shut down properly.

At the URL opera://settings/clearBrowserData, make sure nothing is checked on the "On exit" tab.

At the URL opera://settings/content/siteData, make sure the default behavior is set to "Allow sites to save data on your device" and make sure the customized behavior lists are empty.

At the URL opera://settings/cookies, make sure the allow list is empty.

With Opera fully closed, you can check the permissions of the "com.operasoftware.Opera" folder in "/Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support" to make sure it and all its files and folders are not set to read only (have both read and write permissions). Instead of checking, you can open up a terminal, type:

chmod -R u+rw ~/Library/Application\ Support/com.operasoftware.Opera

and press enter to fix any read and write permissions for Opera's user data folder.
